operator injury. Don’t try to operate this device without reading the instructions.
• Make sure to familiarize yourself with the appliance itself before using it.
• Don’t use any fuel other than propane with this torch, or else it could result in fires, explosions,
property damage, and/or operator injury.
• Always close the torch valve and wait for the torch to cool down before tightening or removing the
torch head, and before installing or removing accessories. Failure to do so could result in severe burns.
• Before using this appliance, check all the parts to make sure they function properly, and make sure no
components have been damaged.
• Keep the torch out of the reach of children.
• Always keep away from heat or flame, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
• Disconnect the propane cylinder when this torch is not in use. Never store the torch while it’s attached to a
propane tank.
• Do not store the torch and/or propane tank near heat or in a room used for habitation.
• Don’t use this torch to heat, mold, or bend plastic sheets, molding, or tubing.
• Don’t use this torch to remove paint.
• Never point the torch toward your face, other people (or their faces), animals, or any other flammable
objects/persons. Please never attempt to use this torch as a cigarette lighter.
• Do not attach or detach the torch from the gas cylinder in an area where accidentally released gas
might be ignited by open flames.
• Never attempt to modify the torch construction and never use unapproved fuel, or else it could result
in fires, explosions, property damage, and/or operator injury.
• Don’t use a leaking, damaged, or malfunctioning torch.
• Treat this torch as you would any fine tool or instrument. If it’s ever damaged, do not use it, and
immediately contact the authorized service center for assistance.
• Torches improperly operated, maintained, or repaired are dangerous! Improper use, service repair, or
modification of the torch could result in damage to the product, property damage, or personal injury
to the operator.
• When the gas cylinder is empty, dispose of it properly in a safe and approved location. Do not throw
the cylinder into a fire, puncture, or incinerate it.
• It is illegal and dangerous to refill the propane gas tank on your own. Obtain a new propane cylinder
from an authorized retailer.
• Do not inhale gas, fumes, vapor, or spray from the propane cylinder or torch, and avoid contact with
skin and eyes. If inhaled, immediately move the aected person to fresh air. For skin contact, flush
with lots of water. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and then seek
medical advice.
• Always place your work on firebrick. Ordinary brick and concrete can explode when subjected to high
temperatures. Do not work on wood or metal surfaces with this product. Always shield your work.
• Always wear protective glasses and gloves. Use proper tools to handle hot work. Always have a fire
extinguisher and a bucket of water near your torch and work area.
• Only use this torch in well-ventilated areas.
• Hidden areas such as those behind walls, ceilings, floors, sot boards, and other panels may contain
flammable materials that could be ignited by the heat gun when working in these locations. The
ignition of these materials may not be readily apparent and could result in property damage and
injury to persons.
• When working in locations that could have hidden areas/flammable materials behind them, keep the
torch moving in a back-and-forth motion. Lingering or pausing in one spot could ignite the panel or
the material behind it.

TORCH OPERATION
1. This torch should only be used with a CGA 600 handle propane cylinder tank or US 1"
threaded valve.
2. Before installing the torch on the gas cylinder, make sure the valve is OFF by turning the gas
adjustment knob in a clockwise direction until it’s securely hand-tightened. DO NOT FORCE IT.
3. Hold the torch and gas cylinder upright. Turn the cylinder counter-clockwise
into the torch valve body until it’s securely hand-tightened and attached to
the torch connection. Do not force it. Check the connection to ensure there
are no leaks.
4. Turn the gas adjustment knob counter-clockwise until you hear a slight hissing sound (this
indicates gas is flowing). Press the ignition button to produce a flame.
FLAME ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn the adjustment knob to control the gas output and the size of the flame.
Normal flame length is 4.7" (12 cm).
2. The maximum heat zone is very concentrated. It’s located between ½" to 1"
(1.3–2.5 cm) from the end of the tip. Holding the torch too close or too far away
from the target can reduce the heating eect.
In cold weather, the size of the flame might be smaller due to lower gas pressure. To produce
a larger flame, you can pre-warm the gas cylinder by bringing it inside or wrapping it in a blanket
until it reaches room temperature prior to use. (Do not use a heater or an open flame to warm
the cylinder.) Shaking the gas cylinder a few times to warm the fuel up will also help. There is
a possibility that the flame will extinguish in cold weather conditions.
